    IS there ny advantage of the 9600GT VGA's 1GB RAM than the same Card's 512mb RAM?
    Or does the remaining amount of 1GB VGA card is used in gaming or is there ny enhancement of graphics of 1GB VGA than the 512 VGA?

    No enhancements on GRFX's But you will see the games speed up like never b4.
    Cos All the calculations GPU does now can save on the most close available store which is GRFX card's RAM. so as long as the Data related to graphics not touch Main RAM it will be speed like light.

    Graphics techno's are same so you will not see any diferent in Grapix visualizations.

    Yes machan poddak 512Mb ekata wada speed athi but Anith theyena features same..... I think if you are not playing games with low resolutions like 1024x768.. 512 will do the job... Good Luck!

    Don't waste your money.. there is no noticeable difference.
    9600 GT is a good card, but it is not a top of the line card, therefore unless you are going to use this card with a 30” monitor that has a very high resolution like 2560x1600 (even higher than full HD) you will not notice a difference. For a 9800 GT or faster 1GB might give a noticeable boost, but not for a 9600 GT.

    Here is a review comparing two 512MB and 1GB versions of 9600 GT; they also conclude that 1GB 9600 GT is not really worth paying anything extra..

    NO, 512MB is more than enough. There is always a limit to how much memory a GPU can use efficiently. 9600 GT is not a very fast GPU, therefore I don't think it can really utilize 1GB effectively.

    K & is that true that the 9400GT has got very very lower performance & configuration??

    All 9600 GT chips are made by NVIDIA. Graphics card manufacturers like Gigabyte, MSI, Foxcon etc.. only makes the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and assemble rest of the components (memory, power circuit, Heatsink etc..). Therefore as far as the GPU performance is concerned, all cards are equal. BUT depending on the quality and speed of Memory chips, the overall performance can vary. Because, cheap cards usually have slow memory.

    Moreover, they might also have cheap components (i.e : transistors, capacitors etc.) which could fail sooner than cards made by reputed manufacturers like Asus and Gigabyte.

    Its like this bro. You can get a 1 Gig VGA and most probably you will have pretty good performance, and most of all you get the recognition of owning a GeForce 1 Gig chip.

    But, the thing is, to experience max. output of the 1GB card, you will have to enhance your processor, System RAM, better cache memory and stuff... So if you have like average specs for those system aspects and have only an awesome part for your VGA, there wont be a match in it. Plus you would have just wasted money for nothing.

    Going for a 1GB is great if you have equal system specs

    Foxcoon or MSI or what ever Manufacturer it is only the GPU chip is from Nvidia . but to function as a one set of Grapix unit other components need to present and those other parts not from Nvidia . so the thing is how best the engineers on Foxconn they can't get full futures of the GPU with there hardware. only Nvidia people knows what are the best equipment to function with GPU. so Foxconn VGA with Nvidia chip never supply quality like Original Nvidia Chip does.

    One other way to supply this by using Nvidia Motherboard . that motherboard has Nchip sets and those can get full set of futures out of the nvidia GPU no matter if the GRFX card is from Foxcoon. (Southern and northern bridge is from Nvidia. )
